49th Fighter Group: Aces of the Pacific: Aviation Elite Units

Autor William N Hess Ilustrat de Mark Postlethwaite
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 aug 2004
Featuring photographs throughout, an illustrated history of the 49th FG, sent to Australia in early 1942 to help stem the tide of Japanese conquest in Java.

Too late to save the island, the group went into action in the defence of Darwin, Australia, where the Forty-Niners' handful of P-40E Warhawks were thrown into combat alongside survivors from the defeated forces that had fled from the Philippines and Java.

This book assesses the outstanding performance of the 49th FG, pitted against superior Japanese forces. By VJ-Day the group had scored 668 aerial victories and won three Distinguished Unit Citations and ten campaign stars for its outstanding efforts.
